Boot sequence

Paige's comments on lvm led me further down the road...

aiui, grub can boot off an LVM, but it was too much for me.  I don't even 
have / on the lvm.

I'm still not sure what that means, but I went looking for tools (it 
seemed like a good time to update my LVM, anyway, since I have two ex-
windows partitions that should be incorporated).

I'm trying out kvpm, now, but there's system-config-lvm for gnome.  So, 
yes, the desktop supports LVM.
